newby saying hi

by tosh1985 » Mon Sep 01, 2014 10:44 pm

hay all im new to the group just thought id introduce myself an say hi an looking forward to reading up on peoples builds, mods, restorations an so on,
ive been an fan since been a nipper and an owner for about 3years now, i have put my loved calibra into moding c20xe fitting and spraying since the head gasket went a few months ago an fitting a kit ive finaly put together an chosen to my liking.
will put up a build tread if anyone is interested as i know modding is not to all's liking, also advise would be much appreciated..
will also be doing a slight restore on a v6 transplant ive bought that already has some very unusual mods but rough around the edges..
much thanks to a previous member for introducing me to the site an for his advise an knowledge, also look forward to meeting other members with there pride an joys at meets an shows..

ive had the black one (becca) a few years now an been doing it over time, ive fell for it an carnt part with it.
you wouldnt believe it to look at it but its had about 2k+ spent on it over the years and travelled plenty of miles for parts
plenty would have given up on it by now but hay ho were the fun in that,
the blue one (duncan) is tbh a good drive but was bought because the previous sprayer was taking the mick on getting the job dun an i wanted to stay in a cally...
its what i call a marmite car ya can like it or hate it, can stand an look at it an think ye it dont look to bad the step to left or right an think yuck lol
will gave to part with when then black one is finnished im affraid so i can get on with the v6..
